Fire Safety and Evacuation

Residential fire is a leading cause of accidental death. Most
fire related deaths occur at night when occupants suffocate in
their sleep from smoke and toxic gases, rather than from
burns. To help reduce this risk, the following program should
be implemented.
1. Minimize fire hazards. Smoking in bed, cleaning with
flammable liquids such as gasoline, leaving children
home alone, and using unsafe holiday decorations are
some of the common causes of household fire.
2. Install a fire alarm system. The primary purpose of this
system is to protect lives by giving the earliest possible
warning of danger.
3. A smoke detector (indicated in the figures by an inverted
S in a circle) should be provided to detect smoke in
each sleeping area in a home.
Practice an escape plan. Because there can be very little

time between detection of a fire and the time it becomes
deadly, it is important that every member of the family
understand how to quickly evacuate according to the
plan.

Fire Safety and Evacuation (continued)

Plan both primary and alternate escape routes. Since
stairwells and hallways can be blocked during a fire, exiting
through a bedroom window must be a part of the escape
plan. If the sleeping area is above the ground floor, install a
means of safe descent outside the building if one does not
already exist.
All family members should plan to meet at a location away
from the house (such as a neighbors house) so everyone can
be accounted for.

If it is determined that the alarm was accidentally sounded,

the bell should be silenced, the detectors reset, and your
security company notified immediately that there is no
emergency situation.

Priority of Events
4.0 System Events

Your system automatically shows fire alarm, fire trouble, or
fire supervisory events as they occur. Fire trouble events
include such conditions as a broken wire or a point that did
not restore. Fire supervisory events include such conditions as
a closed sprinkler system valve.
4.1
Warning Displays and Tones
Your keypad emits one of several distinct tones and shows

custom text to alert you to system events. Additional bells or
horns can also be connected to your system. Audible and
visual devices such as horns and strobes alert you to
emergencies.
If more than one event occurs, your system sorts them into
groups, for example:
Fire alarms (refer to Section 4.2 Fire Alarms on page 13)
Fire troubles (refer to Section 4.3 Fire Troubles on page 14)
Non-fire troubles (refer to Section 4.4 Non-Fire Troubles on
page 15)
The group with the highest priority (fire alarms) appears first
in the keypads display. Refer to the following sections for
descriptions of the tones and displays, and instructions for
silencing the tones.
4.2
Fire Alarms
Fire alarms are the highest priority events. When a fire point
activates, your keypad emits a pulsating high-pitched fire
tone. The tone sounds for the length of time set by your
servicing company.
13
4.3

Maintenance and Service
Cleaning the Keypad
15.0 Maintenance and Service

This system requires very little maintenance; however, you
should test the system weekly to ensure that it is working
properly. You can arrange a test schedule and maintenance
program. If you notice a change in operation during normal
use or testing, call for service as soon as possible.
If your keypad gets dirty, apply a household glass cleaner to a

clean cloth or paper towel and wipe the surface.
Do not spray any liquid directly onto the keypad or
annunciator. A liquid could run inside the case and
damage the electrical circuits.
Do not attempt to repair the control panel,

keypads, or detectors yourself.
